@growinginthegarden: Grow potatoes in Grow Bags! • Place a 3-4 inch layer of loose soil, amended with compost, in the bottom of the container. (Roll down sides of container if desired). Potatoes prefer slightly acidic soil. • Plant seed potatoes with sprouted-side up in soil, and cover them with 2-3 inches of additional soil. • As potatoes sprout, cover the sprouts halfway when they are about 6 inches tall. • Continue this process until the top of the container is reached at which point the plant will continue to grow without being covered up. (Hilling the potatoes ensures that determinate potatoes are not exposed to sunlight and turn green and ensures a larger harvest of indeterminate varieties.) • When you are ready to harvest the entire container, gently dump it out into a wheelbarrow, being careful not to damage the potatoes. Let potatoes cure for a few hours outside. Brush loose soil off the potatoes, and store them in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use them. #potatoes #growbag #growbaggardening #growbags #containergardening
